A synthetic generation of healthcare documents for use in training a classifier is described herein. Initially, a multiplicity of electronic forms are received in memory of a host computing system and data extracted from a specific common field located in each of the forms. A statistical metric is then computed for the specific common field a value synthetically generated for the specific common field according to the computed statistical metric. Finally, the synthetically generated value is inserted into the specific common field of a training version of the electronic forms and the training version of the electronic forms persisted as part of a training data set for a classifier adapted to classify the multiplicity of electronic forms.
